Marvel is starting 2014 off right as the rumor mills churn out some interesting news for "Star Wars", "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Agent Carter" fans.
First, the one confirmed report from Marvel and Lucasfilms: new "Star Wars" comics and graphic novels are a go! Marvel is taking back the comic series they first published in March of 1977.

"In 2015, the cosmic adventures of Luke, Han, Leia, and Chewbacca will make the lightspeed jump back to Marvel, to begin a new age of adventures within the Star Wars universe."
Next, we know the live-action "Guardians of the Galaxy" will hits theaters Aug. 1, but ComicBookMovie.com reports there may be an animated series in the works:
" [A source] has confirmed to us that Marvel do indeed have plans for a new animated series focusing on the Guardians Of The Galaxy.
